Just watched it. Pretty good in my opinion, especially after the rubbish attempt to revive Top Gear with Evans and co. I'll be watching next week.

Excellent, the lads are back and better than ever
No way can the BBC with Top Gear and that American bloke presenting compete with what I watched last night, or should I say early this morning. For those who like Welsh Mountains and narrow boats have a look at my videos and photos at.. http://www.youtube.com/user/conwy1 |

Watched it now, on the whole I enjoyed it. I think it's a promising start, a little less arty with the filming than the BBC version (not a bad thing IMV) and they seem a bit less constrained somehow. The only criticism I'd have is that a couple of the "studio" bits could have been a bit shorter, they started off funny but went on a bit too long.
Anyway, all the important stuff is there and it's free so, why not  Looking forward to seeing how it progresses over the whole series. http://www.yorkshireoffroadclub.net/ |

It's about a hundred times better than the new top gear so I'm in. Ray

I sat down with boy 2 WL to watch the GT tonight and whilst supercar thingys don't do a lot for me I found the show quite watchable. But I do have to agree with one of the above comments about some of the Tent parts were a bit too long and tedious.

Excellent, loved it.
Very funny moments and some great pictures. Matt Le Blanc must be feeling sick  about series 2 of Top Gear |

I thought the opening sequence was very cleverly done. I was pleased to see that the production quality remains high, and overall thought it was good. It will probably improve as it settles down.
There must be some very fed up BBC execs at the moment, compared to this the Beeb's effort is way short of pathetic.  |

Just shows you how much the BBC were impacting top gear.
In about 5 seconds it was better than anything with CE and as good as the early days of Top Gear...good show. Its exRAF Wroughton for the new track apparently Not sure about the stigs american cousin though Mike |
